Able to Keep

Verse 1

Jesus, my Lord, my life, my all, In Thee I trust, in Thee I hide; I know Thou wilt not let me fall If I stay by Thy side.

Chorus

In Thy dear hands of love I lay, Fulfill Thy purposes in me; Teach me to say from day to day, Thy will be done in me.

Verse 2

The storms of life are fierce and dark, And hosts of Satan press me hard; But still Thy strength can keep my bark, Though broken and sin-scarred.

Verse 3

Though hard the cross, the burden great, And I so weak, so poor, undone; Yet on Thy side I’ll stand and wait, Till victory is won.

Verse 4

The battle, Lord, is Thine, and we, Though foe may kill us; yet I see Thy blood sets poor dead captives free, Though fierce the war may be.
